HTML5
I want to make something with color….but I need to learn the basics first.
Learning something new is frustrating at times…

I thought of an idea though. I’d like to make a website for my Grandpa Paul. He was an automotive mechanic before he passed away. The link above kind of inspired me to make something like “Henrich O’ Mechanic” “Henrich’s Phillips 66.” (He used to own a service station)
Well, I finished my first client website. Did I make a lot of money?
Nope..
Did I learn a lot?
You bet!
So this is how this will work. I’ll say what
I learned that I need to practice transferring WordPress sites from my domain to another. (link) I followed those instructions exactly, but I still had problems. I would say about 50 percent of the client’s configurations appeared. Everything transferred no problems, but the changes I made (color scheme, font settings, galleries, plug-in settings, media being set in certain places) did not.
Was a solution found? Nope. I ended up looking at the original on one screen and the new domain on another to recreate the missing configurations. This first website website wasn’t difficult to do, but I don’t want to do that again for a bigger site.
Finding the navigation menu was not intuitive
Originally, the menu dropped down. The client picked up on it immediately so I didn’t think much of it. After I asked for feedback from the Designers Talk group in LinkedIn, I found out otherwise.
I changed the navigation to a horizontal “bar.” In WordPress, I went to Appearance, then Menu. After that, just create a menu and drop the pages inside that menu. Make sure to make the menu active by choosing it under Theme Locations This seemed to improve the usability of the site and improved the look of the site.
Improve content quality
A few of the reviewers mentioned the content in the website. Some said it needed a bit more pow. The content was a collaborated effort between the owners and myself. To improve in this area, I will need to read more and practice writing.
Other areas mentioned, but minor details
This feedback helped me quite a bit. I’ve started a new project, but it’s for my dad’s Taewkwondo school, but this is my last month of college for my undergraduate degree, so life is busy. I will dedicate a little time each day, but it will only be an hour every other day, not hours each day.

So web design and design in general has filled up a lot of my time. I’ve been reading web designer’s blogs, doing tutorials, watching vids, and reading some more.
Guess what?
I landed my first client a couple weeks ago. Not tooting my own horn, but I felt pretty good about it. But I have a lot to learn…
What I feel comfortable doing…(but can always improve!)
What I’ve recently started…
What I want to know
I want to get to know web and designers so we can exchange ideas, build each other up, and heck…maybe chill at a cafe?
Anyone? I’m on twitter too.
Live migration (vMotion) in ESX allows a virtual machine to move between two different hosts. Live storage migration (Storage vMotion) enables live migration of virtual disks on the fly. [19] To support Live Migration it is advised to use a dedicated vSwitch with at least 1Gb NIC links and using a dedicated VLAN on your switch-infrastructure. During vMotion Live Migration (vLM) of a running virtual machine (VM) the content of the (ram) memory of the VM is sent from the running VM to the new VM (the instance on another host that will become the running VM after the vLM). The content of memory is -by it’s nature- changing all the time. ESX uses a system where the content is sent to the other VM and then it will check what data is changed and send that, each time smaller blocks. And at the last moment it will very shortly ‘freeze’ the existing VM, transfer the last changes in the RAM content and then start the new VM. Because of transferring the content of RAM in blocks where in the end only the last ‘changes’ are trasferred the ‘freeze’ time for the actual last transfer + taking over functionality can be very short that the end-users will hardly notice it
That is coooool.
